Supersymmetry demystified /

Written in an easy-to-follow format, Supersymmetry Demystified explains Weyl, Majorana and Dirac spinors, notations and supersymmetric lagrangians. Supersymmetric charges and their algebra are discussed, as are interactions and gauge theories. The book also covers superspace formalism, superfields,...
